spying program and their support towards whistleblowers edward snowden and bradley manning with demonstrations across the country and over forty cities join me peter all of the for more on this in a few moments. this is r g coming to you live from moscow i'm marina joshie welcome to the program. the egyptian army has started the a large scale and a terrorist operation in the sinai peninsula bordering israel having weapons are being deployed to the area works trimmest attacks on the military have been increasingly frequent the details from falsely or what we do know is that the egyptian military has closed all intensives in and out of the sinai it's known a forty eight hour operation to deal with and sudden increase in the number of islamicist operating day the. information that we have is that there have been

violent clashes in the area. not only santa there but also in areas like elevation other villages in the surrounding area these clashes between the army and extremists that have been operating there for quite some time now let me remind you that the situation in sinai has been on rudy if a since the overthrow of the former egyptian president hosni mubarak and since then we've witnessed an increase in these kind of attacks these kind of violent acts happening in the sinai but we're hearing from the army as that there are at least five hundred extremist militants operating in an area of four square kilometers now the army says that they are heavily armed it says that they could use civilians in those areas as human shields and at the same time the army has deployed both its if force and on the ground troops who are heavily armed and they took the muslim brotherhood supporters are taking up arms and i'll go into the sinai where there

are joining these islamist groups from the army we hearing that they've been fired on that they have been attacked by these extremist elements more than sixty bedwyn tribes signed a memorandum that they support the gyptian army and that this is a support for the egyptian people they're trying to put some kind of order there but the situation is merely continuing to descend into chaos. egypt has endured a night of deadly clashes between the military and supporters of the deposed president officially there are ninety two casualties but muslim brotherhood activists say over one hundred have been killed and more of the sounds and injured they say their supporters were deliberately targeted with shots to the head and chest beltran has a story in cairo. it was a very bloody night here in egypt as clashes erupted in many parts of the country and continue into saturday morning off to these nationwide why the protests both in support and against the ousted leader mohamed morsi what eyewitnesses is saying

although we haven't completely reports that protests it has attempted to extend the city and past the area that they had been staying in for the last few weeks toward security breach at this point security forces then attempted to push them back with tea gas field hospital doctors are reporting people have died and there are a number of injured as well and what we're seeing now is apparently eyewitnesses saying that some people have been coming in with gunshot wounds although we can't confirm whether come by a voice nice as well as people having problems with take acid inhalation and it was very chaotic with the injured coming in every five minutes and ambulances people were on the back of motorcycles of bringing the wounded into the city and now this is also happened in other parts of the country there were violent clashes in the coastal city of alexandria between rival protest groups when supporters and opponents of the ousted leader met in the main running points also needing people

dead this is been very very bloody civilian on civilian crashes we have of course seen massive amounts of tanks here and the military joining the police in attacking people saying or attacking these citizens of course this comes after the announcement on friday mohamed morsi would be kept in detention following investigations into charges that he's been conspiring against the country with the palestinian organization hamas in addition to possibly being responsible for the deaths of the prison guards and offices when he broke out of prison during the eighteen the uprising in two thousand and eleven so this is a very serious serious allegation against the former president it could see him serve jail time this of has of course you the fire and the anger by his supporters and of course his islamist group the mist and brotherhood who is saying. given charge and this is part of a wider crackdown against the green by the minute tree no sign is backing down many

people are dying the violence is continuing leading many to feed that this will only get worse and i'm more see activists absolute i'm doing it believes the muslim brotherhood is exaggerating the casualty figures to convince their foreign allies they need help but dance to military what do you expect people who are in. the government. all the egyptian people did not accept that. we did not accept that it is them we did not accept the fascism we did not accept what do you expect from losers of course they're trying to justify their trying to pull of two to force their support as the united states for help. we will never ever let anyone in defeat in our country if they accept that the americans accept that people will go and shoot soldiers into the pentagon we will accept there was

a number as it was to shoot our soldiers. to establish an upsetting images of the violence in egypt have been posted on twitter and we can see that some of those injured are children and there are claims that a thirteen year old boy was killed in the xandra there are also pictures showing civilians allegedly firing live rounds at pro morsi protesters at a tea the call we have a timeline of turmoil in egypt has suffered since president morsi was deposed while we have gathered some of the most dramatic pictures and accounts. tunisia could be on its way towards plunging into chaos after violence erupted when tens of thousands gathered for the funeral of an assassinated opposition leader and we've more on the developments in just a few minutes here in r.t. .

now a u.n. inquiry into the use of chemical weapons in syria has got off the ground as investigators and damascus officials finally reach an agreement the probe was stalled as the un to manage for access to syrian facilities which the authorities denied and now there are breaks or has been reached in new york a key rebel group has agreed to take part in a peace conference aimed at resolving the two year war in syria after a meeting with security council members but as more important i was playing there are conditions attached to what those preconditions are it's hard to detect it seems as though they want to make sure that syrian president bashar al assad has no authority following the key to meeting and another precondition possibly that once the transitional government is is established that that transitional government would have full authority over the security in the military in syria there's a lot of back and forth with the wording with the russian ambassador to the u.n.

really underscored here is that all this talk of prevent the geneva two meeting from actually moving forward and taking place they were mentioning among other things that they needed more weapons etc etc so some other remarks they were making sort of leading in the direction of further further conflict for the conflict which . with no obvious sound in sight there's no secret that the syrian opposition would like to receive the weapons in arms in military aid that the obama administration recently promised to provide to the rebels fighting against syrian president bashar al assad it is clearly assumed that the delegation represent. in the syrian opposition this year new york discussed that issue with u.s. secretary of state john kerry now before they began their bilateral meeting on thursday secretary kerry said that there could be no military solution to the syrian crisis only a political solution but if that is the case many ask why would washington be shipping more weapons and arms to a country that is in the midst of

a civil war that is now reaching two and a half years so we have this meeting taking place and a lot of talk but it seems as though the positions still remain and there has been no date yet set for this geneva two meeting that is co organized co-sponsored by russia and the us anti-war campaigner you told us that western backed attempts to topple the assad regime only stir up a hornet's nest in syria rendering peace efforts useless. the united states and the united kingdom france other western nations have really made clear that they will only accept the fall of the side and despite the fact that they continually try to say that they're for peace negotiations it seems at every turn whether it's sending arms to the rebels whether it's sending them quote unquote non-lethal aid money in general supporting the gulf countries that are also supporting them that really all of the talk about peace is disingenuous and unlike russia and other countries they seem very. determined to push forward the syrian rebels as the new leadership of

the country regardless of the situation on the ground when the russian the united states where originally trying to promote the geneva two conference we saw that the syrian rebels essentially said that they had no intention of negotiating until the situation on the ground changed that is until they gain the military upper hand so from their perspective they seem only willing to negotiate if the military situation allows them to have the upper hand in negotiations but if they seem to be losing the war if it seems that support for them inside of the country is dropping all of a sudden they have no desire to negotiate and they only want to continue to push war which is the subtext of this entire meeting where on the sidelines they have been pushing for more and more military aid from the united states and for it to come significantly quicker. now the u.s. is going all out to stop the ongoing hunger strike at guantanamo bay and that's how some experts describe a paragon sisyphean to transfer to inmates back home although the government insists it's part of the camp's closure proceso the details are just ahead.

and america's largest cyber fraud case that's had washington on the run for years five are charged with swiping hundreds of millions of dollars from people's credit cards. i would rather as questions for people who positions of power instead of speak on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on our t.v. question more. right

from the scene. first straight. and i would think that you're. on the record.

welcome back this is our team now police are reportedly arresting a broadcaster is outside the parliament building in the capital after dispersing them with tear gas earlier on saturday tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of tunis for the funeral of mohamed brought me a key secular opposition figure who was assassinated right outside his home on thursday well it's now discuss this live with professor russian khalifa a political analyst from tunis university think it's a much or this really for joining us here and you to discuss this so there are multiple reports at this point indicate that there are several pockets of violence that already spreading across tunisia do you think the islamist rule or russia do get oshie could repeat the fate of egypt's mohamed morsi what's your take on the

situation. well actually what's going in of course is very disappointing there is excessive use of violence and excessive use of force in front of the constituent assembly these are peaceful demonstrators who just want to express their you know idea is that they are really you know fed up with this government the governments confusing them is. not going to do anything it's not you know trying to feel you know the revolution demands and they've been too much violence and i think this is very deplorable and i don't think you know russia's going to she will do anything i mean what we heard lately and you know his statements are basically adding i would say you know to the to the i mean he basically you know making things worse well at this point government blames al qaida for in the killing and that brings up a question of the state of tunisian security i mean how effective are they and do you think they are able to keep terrorists abate. and that's

a very very complicated question because there is the. kind of a double standard in this and there's a lot of them to get to go not you know you know the you know by the government it's not going to very clear you know these people they said they belong to a certain group you know in. sharia on sarah sheria but you know we know that this group of course is a terrorist group but i don't you know to you know to stop that and i would say at one point even they flirted with this group so i don't think there would be much better to be done just going to just cycle of violence in this in a spiral of violence. you know what about. you know relationship between. islamised and their secular opponents as we know the tunisian arab spring arab spring revolution aggravated divisions between these groups so how big is the crack between them now. i think you know the gap is broadening because you know you know

the government is run by these the spots and i think. it's not you're listening to the people it's not listening in to the opposition parties or the opposition parties so i think the rift is why did it and there's some kind of myopia is there some kind if you know like this kind of you know deafness you know the pulse of the street and i think this you know you know the situation that we have today which is really exclusive to me. and briefly how important was the assassinated opposition leader of mohamed brahmi of course it's a devastating nation this is the third in the span of a year and hoppen and this is you know devastating to the tunisian people the first one was lead. and the people who you know who did this you know they belong to the islamist party and car and they are in prison and the second of course it should be a belated was you know assassinated on the sixth of february and now we have and

it's looks like you know the cycle of violence that. and that's the feeling and the pressure of the people. there demonstrated today that the government is to a certain extent because had you know the political responsibility to end this cycle of violence and the government doesn't seem to listen to this it doesn't seem to do anything basics and all we hear is simply the same sort of repetition of this into schools which is about the just in the sea but i think that. there is you know blood which is you know down the street like through but it took less estimations are professor russian political analyst from the university of today thank you so much for your. privacy rights activists have demonstrated across germany against us worldwide surveillance and berlin's role in it the revelations by edward snowden have a night of public anger among germans who say that their government led them down as our peer all over now reports. demonstrators are gathering in over forty cities

around germany to show their support for both edward snowden and bradley manning the largest of those demonstrations is taking place in the financial german financial capital of frankfurt but as here in berlin as well as many other cities around the country marches are taking place to show their support for the the two whistleblowers and to show their anger at the way that not only the united states government has been spying into their private lives they email their phone calls their social networking sites and allies but the way in which the german government appears to have been well not just complicit but an active part in taking part in not spying it's turned out that germany being one of the the most watched countries by the n.s.a. prism operation over five hundred million data connections were intercepted from germany every month and that's according to some of the. leaked memos that were

put forward by edward snowden now those people who have come out here in berlin told me exactly why they want to show their support for edward snowden and other whistleblowers and why they're angry at the german government. i'm very unhappy we have a constitution and laws in this country the german government isn't interested in our holding their own constitution the way germany is led by the us and spying makes me want to puke. on my country with this process my private life is important to me is something sacred that should be protected and . it's only through what snowden and manning are going through being treated as criminals for exposing the real crimes of the military and security services. it's outrageous that the german government refuses to do anything to protect its own people's privacy. while holding. and is saying yes we stand

a parody of the obama's election speak truth yes we can they're angry at what they see as being let down by not only their own government but the infringements by the united states is government into their privacy they want to be left alone they say and they're saying as well today that they're all edward snowden's they're all bradley manning's and that's why they're standing together across germany and what's got to be america's largest frons scheming nearest five people have been charged with stealing more than three hundred million dollars by siphoning people's credit cards they now face trial and could spend decades in jail if convicted artie's and her blank has a story. we had five guys four russian nationals and one ukrainian man who over the course of around seven years were able to penetrate a number of the networks of leading financial institutions banks all sorts of systems where very important information was being stored and over the course of

several years those men broke into the databases allegedly took at sensitive information and in the end u.s. prosecutors now say that those five men were able to compromise roughly one hundred sixty million credit cards causing upwards of three hundred million dollars of damage they were able to elude authorities for around seven or eight years now but actually masterminding this operation itself took a lot of very careful planning now of the five men that are believed involved in this each one kind of had a separate little niche that they would specialize in for instance were experts when it came to penetrating computer networks others would go into these networks after they were compromised in mind for data even more would build up very very sophisticated internet networks to be able to communicate anonymously so by having different specialists in different sectors they were all able to to put the pieces together and cause millions of dollars hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage in effect you know people around the globe two of them were arrested one of them has since been extradited from the netherlands the other one is awaiting

extradition and three of them are at large so once they are brought to the u.s. and tried the could be looking at likely decades in prison. that was unsealed thursday this week it all stems from a previous investigation that began a few years ago and did with the conviction of an american computer hacker who is currently serving several decades behind prison for a similar crime now the pentagon says a lot of repatriated to guantanamo inmates back till geria claiming it's the first step on towards closing the infamous facility prison camp sparked international condemnation of the obama administration by starting as they are continuing hunger strike back in february a dance they were views an indefinite detention social studies scholar dr alan singer says the transfer is just throwing a bone to the inmates to make them stop protesting. in many ways it's an act of desperation the hunger strike has embarrassed the united states all over the world

so they're trying to break the hunger strike by pushing out a couple that people but these are people that are being detained without any legal justification one of the things i find so curious is that trying to get out curia to take to the people algeria is not well noted for the due process of its courts countries with stablished legal proceedings do not want to touch this just saying states and is saying to obama you make this mess you're stuck with it i am an expert on the other jury in prison system but i had to go to jail i think i'd much rather go to sweden or denmark a tradition is in general in algeria very very harsh i mean i think they're looking to send people to a of her his fate i don't see this as any kind of due process of any kind of outcome i just think they're trying to get out of something they created. and

a mysterious extra planet strip killian creatures living among us but there also may conspiracy theories that are very plausible and some that are well actually true one that i've heard for a long time is that they are specifically trying to fool the police with dimwits to abuse the american people which is silly right right according to a.b.c. news a discrimination lawsuit revealed that robert jordan was denied the chance to become a new london police officer because he was too smart his entrance exam score was a thirty three which is an i.q. of one hundred twenty five and it was just too high to allow him to defend the public good that police department only accepts candidates who have scores from twenty to twenty seven the logic is that people who are too smart get bored as policemen and they're more likely to quit after years of costly training. yeah this is proof of a conspiracy theory well the lowest score of the accept is still around an average i.q. so that doesn't mean they're specifically trying to fill the place with subpar people

but it does seem really weird to fear people with high i.q.'s entering the police force this case to have a confirms nor denies the conspiracy theory but it's definitely food for thought and the kind of not make sense to discriminate against anyone ever for having a high i.q. i don't know but that's just my opinion. good afternoon and welcome to prime interest i'm harry and boring it above english and here they've had mine. it's been a week of scandal it looks like j.p. morgan will settle with the feds for allegedly manipulating energy markets and exiting the claudine's market all together this comes after a threat of another federal probe then big beer goes after big banks for manipulating the price of aluminum used for an unknown hello burton pleads guilty to pulling him in rome.
